	Two windows rescued from the church after the 22 Dec 1972 fire, and attributed to Tiffany, with themes "Nativity" (really "Adoration of the Magi", after Heinrich Hofmann) and "Crucifixion", were for sale by Donley Auctions, Union, IL, 15 Nov 2019, lots 1426 and 1427 [DON2019, DEDUCED]
	There was a 1912 McGuire Memorial Window, "Adoration of the Magi", supposedly after Raphael (but that could be an error), and originally designed by Tiffany but made by Flanagan and Biedenweg, and in 1913 the church sued Flanagan and Biedenweg saying the window was not as was contracted for, and this might be the window that was in the auction [IO1912, CT1913]
